And a designer said Let there be light

TREND / No.27 / 2012. “Light is the topic of a lifetime,” states Ján Štofko, one of the first designers at OMS.

The leading Slovak producer of lighting belongs to theexpanding group of Slovak companies that have realised the importance of designin the production cycle. Therefore, the company decided to not be just amanufacturing and assembly hall, but rather to build its own centre forresearch and development.

In the beginning there was ray

Modul Ray is a type of lighting that was developedaccording to Ján Štofko’s design and from the side it looks like a ray. Hedesigned the prototype for his thesis at the Institute of Industrial Design atthe Faculty of Architecture of Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.Today, it is being mass produced on the OMS assembly line along with anothertype of lighting called Rebell by a young designer that won a major award inthe product design category at last year’s National Prize for Design. The ModulRay light concept corresponds directly with the functioning of the human body.It is configured so that the light intensity during the day adapts to thenatural human biorhythm. It acts as a starter in the morning, it dims at noonand increases its intensity in the evening again, if necessary. The point is thatthe warm light is eye-closing and the cool light is, on the contrary,encouraging.

Drawing the future

The current trend in the production of lighting tends tofocus on the elegance of shapes, colour of light mixing, and intelligentcontrol of lighting systems. OMS’ philosophy has always been to set trends, notmerely follow them. That is one of the reasons it creates businessrelationships with the best manufacturers from a technological point of view.The company’s focus on innovation is reflected in its “Future concepts”program, aimed at inspiring designers to think about the future of lightingtechnology.

Held October 4-9, the international trade fair Designblok'11 showcased the latest in the design of furniture, home accessories, fashion and lifestyle. The programme featured a showcase of designers, design studios and schools, located in Superstudio Futurama and Superstudio Šporkovský palace.

In addition to introducing its new brand, Elite, and the winning collection of products from the National Prize for Design 2011, OMS also presented six new products realised during the year. Four products are the works of talented young Slovak designers Anton Zetocha and Ján Štofko of OMS and Matej Bilík of Osem design. The other two products were designed by renowned international studios Giugiaro Architettura, Italy and Bartenbach LichtLabor, Austria. Designed by OMS’ Anton Zetocha, the luminaire Modul WINGS is planned to enter mass production at the end of 2011. The Indirect Vega luminaire with LED light source from Osem design’s Matej Bilík is already being mass produced. Prototypes with LED light sources include Terzo, designed by Giugiaro Architettura; Becrux, designed by Bartenbach LichtLabor; Acrux, designed by OMS’ Anton Zetocha and Modul Box Max, designed by OMS’ Ján Štofko.

OMS, owned by Slovak entrepreneur Vladimír Levársky, plans to invest 7 million euros by the end of next year. Approximately half of the money will be spent on the construction of a new R&D center within the production area of the company in Dojč near Senica. Construction has already begun.

Intelligent systems for lighting and lighting design

Světlo / No.05 / 2009.

Not surprisingly, these terms apply to the industries of lighting design and lighting technology. New, more efficient light sources are used in light fixtures together with intelligent stabilizers, more efficient optical systems of light fixtures, or daylight sensors.

Luminaires for interior lighting based on LED

Světlo / No. 02 / 2010

Luminaires for interior lighting based on LED still have higher market share.

The most frequently used light fixtures are the lamps designed for indoor lighting.

An increasing number of our offices, schools, hospitals, corridors, lecture halls and even our houses are illuminated using indoor LED lighting. Nowadays, linear fluorescent lamps are used particularly for indoor lighting. Why are the linear fluorescent lamps so successful? It is evident from their numerous advantages. They have a higher specific power (reaching up to 110 lm/W for some versions), easy installation, long life, high-frequency operation, good colour rendition, and most importantly, they are fully dimmable. Dimming enables dynamic response to the needs of the illumination area.
